CHURN.

- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 415,054, dated November 12,1889.

Application filed Ma a, 1889.

To all whom it mag concern.-

Be it known that I, HARVEY J. MCKINNEY, a citizen of the'United States, residing in Patton township, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ohurns; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form apart of this specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in churns; and it consists in an oval oblong barrel or vessel pivoted to a frame and having diagonally-arranged therein a stationary perforated dasher, together with certain details of construction and combination of parts, as will be fully described hereinafter.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side sectional elevation of my improved churn constructed in accordance with myinvention. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same, having the lid or cover removed to show the position of the diagonally-arranged dasher. Fig. 3 is a face view of the dasher; Fig. 4 is an enlarged vertical sectional view of one of the adjustable pivots for the moving chnrnbody. Fig. 5 is an edge view of one of the guides. Fig. 6 is a side elevation of a part of the churn-body, and showing the guides for sustaining the body and relieving the pivots of a part of the weight and strain.

To put my invention into practice I provide a frame a, of suitable size and form of construction, having securely attached thereto two upwardly-extending posts I), to which is affixed an oblong vessel 0 by means of adjustable pivots d. These pivots d are each provided with a screw-thread operating in a nut e, securely attached to the posts I) and centered in small castings f, attached to the side walls of the vessel 0. vessel 0 is an opening neatly fitted with a lid or cap 19, having a semicircular handle q, across which and bearing against the same is the operating-lever r. This lever r is detachably secured in two bearings s s, by one end thereof entering a loop 8', and a pin is On the top of this Serial No. 309,787. (No model.)

bearing .66 at the base and serves to remove a portion of the weight from the pivots d and at the same time prevent any side motion of the vessel 0.

At a suitable point in the vessel 0 is an opening fitted with a plug which serves to withdraw the milk aft-er the process of churning has been completed.

In operation the vessel 0 is given a rocking mot-ion by means of the hand-lever 4, which causes the milk to flow from one side of the vessel to the other through the perforated dasher a. The milk in striking this dasher glides along and through the same without any sudden jerk or stoppage, therefore-giving an easy continuous rocking motion to the vessel 0. r

Having thus described my invention, whatI claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s

The churn herein described, consisting, essentially, of the rocking body 0, provided on its exterior with the circular guides w, the bearings s s, carrying the lever r, the bearing f, and on its inside having the diagonally-arranged perforated dasher u, and provided with a cover 19, having a handle q, upon which the lever bears, and the tubes t, in combination with a framing at, having the adjusting-screws d, taking into the bearings, and the supports a: for the guides, all constructed and operating substantially as a set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I hereunto affix my signature this 17th day of April, A. D. 1889.
